Why Don't You Read The Book lyrics

Don’t talk to the pilot When he’s flyin’ Don’t smile at the soldier He’s on parade Don’t come creeping round, you’ll Catch me cryin’ No more talkin’ ‘bout it It’s all been said You drawn such a fine line baby Learnin’ all the rules Why don’t ya read between them sometimes You won’t look such a fool Why don’t you read the book, why don’t you read the book Why don’t you read the book, why don’t you read the book Why show all your aces To the gambler If he calls your hand You’re gonna lose Don’t trust first impressions Of a stranger Private information’s Just tellin’ tales * You draw such a fine line baby Learnin’ all the rules Why don’t ya read between them sometimes You won’t look such a fool ** Why don’t you read the book, why don’t you read the book Why don’t you read the book, why don’t you read the book repeat * repeat ** (written and arranged by Nazareth) copyright 1983 Fool Circle Limited
